USA: Quantenna Communications Inc. announced that its 4x4 802.11ac Wi-Fi solutions are now supported by Intel Puma 6 reference designs.

Using the world’s fastest industry standard Wi-Fi and the only Wave 2 MU-MIMO chipsets, Quantenna delivers a fast and reliable wireless streaming of bandwidth-intensive data, such as video content, throughout the home to multiple devices. Products based on Quantenna’s 11ac Wi-Fi solution will also act as an open access point that interoperates with all third party clients, such as laptops, tablets and smartphones.

As a result, service providers can be confident that their customers are receiving reliable, whole-home data and video coverage. This in turn maximizes efficiency for ISPs, as it requires fewer customer service calls and repair truck deployments. Quantenna’s 4x4 solutions work with all third party clients and any consumer devices in any MIMO configuration (e.g. 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4), in addition to being Wave 2 ready for added future-proofing.

The reference design is available now to OEMs for media gateway system integration.
